Our house thermostat is set to around 15 degrees. If OH want to give it a boost she will turn it up a little but very often it gets turned down once the heating has been on a short time. Around 12/13 is not uncommon.
------------- It'll work out in the end!!!!
I didn't do it !! Nobody saw me do it !! You can't prove anything !!
As OH is disabled he is issued with a paper thermometer by the Met office. He keeps one in sitting room and one in bedroom. The temperatures are listed as follows:
09 - 12 Cold - Danger of hypothermia
15 - Cool - Turn your heating up
18-21 Comfortable - (21 ideal living room temp)
(18 Ideal Bedroom temp)
24 - 27 Excess heat
He also gets a message from met office warning of likeliehood of extreme weather.
That sounds just right romaway. Obviously different people have different tolerance levels, but I couldn't manage for long in less than 17 deg or more than 21. Under 17 and my fingers and face will get very cold. Over 22-23 and my legs start to ache. Different places I have worked have had these extremes. At the current place the girls turn the temp up to 24, and I'm at passing out point. I keep telling them that once they get over 45, like me (!) they'll be turning it down again.
I am very warm blooded and dot like it being to warm, we don't have a thermostat yet so we set the heating on 1 out of 8 so it is down pritty low but the wife sometimes turns it up as shes says seeing me in shorts and t shirt in the house makes her cold, she even uses 2 duvets on her side of the bed and I struggle with 1 most nights, we are both 26 live in a 100 year old house on top of a gusty mountain in the South Wales vallies, Also I set the climate control in the car to 20 in the morning to de mist the car she sets it to 28 to keep warm
